Dok Brewing Company 13 presents as a highly sessionable take on the German Pils, offering a refined, crisp profile at a lower 4% ABV. The sensory experience is dominated by traditional German hops, which provide a moderately high intensity of spicy and herbal notes. A delicate backdrop of Continental Pilsner malt adds hints of doughy sweetness and toasted cracker, though the balance leans firmly toward a clean, assertive bitterness. This Belgian-crafted lager maintains a strictly clean fermentation profile, ensuring the hop character remains the focus. It finishes exceptionally dry and refreshing, with a subtle minerality that accentuates its bright, effervescent nature.
Appearance.Straw to pale yellow (2-3 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a dense, creamy, long-lasting white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass.
Aroma.Moderate to moderately high spicy and herbal hop aroma. Low grainy-sweet malt character with subtle notes of fresh cracker and a hint of honey. Clean fermentation profile with no esters or diacetyl.
Taste.Clean, grainy malt flavors are quickly overtaken by a firm hop bitterness and herbal hop flavor. Highly attenuated, leading to a crisp, dry finish. The bitterness is prominent but smooth, lingering into a refreshing aftertaste with a faint touch of flinty minerality.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with high carbonation, creating a lively and scrubbing sensation on the palate. No alcohol warmth is perceived; the finish is crisp and sharp without being harsh.
